Chapter 3 - The Second Encounter

Kris Mackwood

It had been Kris's dream since his childhood to become a businessman, unlike his twin brother Mike, who always wanted to become a doctor and serve humans without any charges. Kris studied at Harvard University in the field of business management, he wanted to open a property sales company and to achieve his dream. He had come to China to start his own business with his best friend Tyler. His father was the owner of the multibillion property reselling company 'Mackwood Properties' and Kris wanted to open a branch of their company in China, so what better place for it than the currently developing city Wuhan in the Hubei province.

It has already been a week since he landed in Wuhan, he had spent the past whole week walking across Wuhan looking over the properties that he had decided to buy in order to resell under their company's branch. Today he was going to meet the successor of the largest company in Wuhan, 'Wang Enterprises' in order to do his first business in China. He was not nervous, but he was profoundly sweating for some unknown reason. He had this unusual feeling in the pit of his stomach that something that will change his life forever will happen today. Thinking that no matter what, it is not something that can stop him, Shen Wei just brushed off his gut feeling.

Now it was three in the afternoon and he was standing in front of a large building which held the name 'Wang Enterprises'. He was supposed to meet a 'Mr. Wang Lan', talk to him about their properties and convince him to buy it from them. He was dressed in a crisp navy-blue suit and plain black shoes that shined under the last sun rays of the day. He took a deep breath and started walking towards the glass sliding doors to enter the building. As he entered, he was met by a pleasant-looking receptionist who offered him a sweet smile before she said,

"Good afternoon sir. How can I help you?"

Kris returned her smile with one of his signature smiles and said,

"I am Kris Mackwood. I have an appointment with Mr. Wang Lan at 3 pm to discuss property sales."

"Please hold on a moment sir, I will check the details."

She said and turned her head towards her computer to verify the details that Kris presented before she guided Kris to an elevator.

"Please enter the elevator sir. When you reach the tenth floor the door will open to a conference room and Mr. Wang will be waiting there for you."

The young receptionist said and bowed her head.

"Thank you very much, Ms. Hong."

Kris said before he entered the elevator which made the poor receptionist blush uncontrollably. It was not that Kris knew the young lady from anywhere before, it was just that he had always been an observant person and when he looked at the receptionist while she was on her computer he had noticed the name tag on her uniform.

The elevator pinged and the door opened revealing a large room with a big table and comfortable chairs which you would find in any conference hall. A man in a black suit was standing with the back to him working on some papers on the table. As soon as the door opened the sweet smell that almost drugged him just last week at the airport started to assault his nostrils. As if the effect on him was also working on the man in front of him, the man in the black suit turned around to face him in lightning speed and Kris was met with the same pair of golden eyes that he was strangely missing for the last week as he was missing a part of him.

Wang Lan

"My angel"

These words were out of Lan's mouth before he could stop it. Understanding that he said those words out loud a faint blush crept onto his cheeks, but it was nothing compared to Kris, whose face was now colored with a darker shade of pink after hearing that compliment from the person who he had missed dearly. Understanding that he was the reason that his angel was turning into a bright red like a tomato a playful smile spread across Lan's lips.

"Good afternoon. I am Wang Lan. Mr. Kris Mackwood, I guess?"

Lan said smiling wholeheartedly, offering his hand to his angel who was trying so hard to compose himself.

"Yes"

Kris replied reaching for the hand Lan had offered him to shake. As he grabbed Lan's hand a jolt of electricity went down his spine. He looked intently at Lan and understood that the other person had also felt the same effect as him. He retreated his hand back thinking to himself, 'Oh god, this man is going to be the death of me', little did he know that it was somewhat true.

"Let us have a seat and talk. Shall we 'Angel'?"

Lan casually asked knowing completely well that his angel will have another blush attack as soon as he heard what he called him. As expected Kris turned red and without saying another word he sat down on the chair that Lan had guided him to.

But Lan on the other hand was having a hard time controlling himself. The vanilla smell emitting from his angel was driving him crazy and awakening desires that he did not even know existed within him until they came out. His throat was going dry as he had not drunk any liquid for ages, and it looked like that dryness could only be gone if he drank blood from the fallen angel in front of him. Ashamed of having those thoughts about someone he just met, he sat down on the chair next to his angel.

Even though he wanted to think straight, all his mind wanted to think was how would it feel to have his angel on his laps, to bury his head in the crook of his angel's neck and inhale that intoxicating smell of sweet vanilla. Before he could comprehend what was going to happen he found his arms reaching for his angel's hands, grabbing them harshly and pulling his angel onto his lap. Instinctively as soon as Kris was on Lan's lap, Lan buried his head to the crook of Kris's neck and inhaled deeply. The sweet vanilla smell that emitted from Kris filled Lan's lungs and the emotional storm inside Lan's mind subdued and he calmed down, but his heart was beating rapidly inside his rib cage as if it wanted to come out. He slowly let go of his angel's hands and snaked his arms around his angel's waist and pressed their chests together in order to make his angel feel the beating of his heart.

The first feeling he got as he hugged his angel was that even though vampires were supposed to be ice cold, the angel in his arms had a strange sense of warmth that soothed his heart. As he was planning on letting go of the hug and taking a close look at his angel's face, he felt feather-like kisses in the crook of his neck, before suddenly a pair of fangs started to gaze his neck.

Kris Mackwood

Kris was an emotional mess when he sat down, even though his heart did not beat, he could feel as it was beating rapidly and banging against his rib cage. He was blushing and sweating profoundly and the mint chocolate smell that assaulted his nostrils did not give him any help in composing back his self-control. As he barely managed to grab his consciousness back and reform his posture he suddenly felt a pair of strong arms grabbing his hands, before he could understand what was happening he found himself on Lan's lap. The position he was currently situated in did not help Kris in any way, and to add more troubles to the list, suddenly Lan buried his head in the crook of Kris's neck.

Poor Kris could not take this anymore, for the first time in his life he felt the thirst for someone's blood. As a pureblood vampire, Kris had never felt the thirst as purebloods were only supposed to feel the thirst to drink their mate's blood and he was yet to find his mate. He could feel Lan's body heat enveloping around him and giving him a sense of protection and love, which he had only experienced with his twin brother Mike.

He was starting to calm down and the mint chocolate smell that emitted from Lan helped him to calm down, but his gathering composure went downhill as soon as Lan snaked his hands around Kris's waist. Kris's face was so close to Lan's neck, he could even feel the pulse on Lan's neck. He could hear the blood rushing in Lan's veins, and he instinctively bent his head and started to leave feather-like kisses on Lan's neck. The urge to feed on this man surfaced in Kris's mind and his uncontrollable beast overtook his mind. As this happened he could feel his fangs coming out and he gazed his fangs on Lan's neck in order to tease him. Just as he was about to sink his fangs into Lan's neck, he heard the 'ping' of the elevator behind him.
